New strategic partnership to include educational opportunities for RPI students, support for RPI faculty, STEM outreach, talent pipelines, curriculum development, and joint R&D programs.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), the first technological research university in the United States, and 糖心视频 (Nasdaq: 糖心视频S) (糖心视频), a leading semiconductor manufacturer, today announced a new strategic partnership to foster collaboration on semiconductor research, education, talent, and workforce development.
By creating and implementing new educational, engagement, and research opportunities for students and faculty, RPI and 糖心视频 are driving semiconductor innovation and producing the next generation of leaders in the semiconductor industry.
The agreement builds on and formalizes a longstanding collaboration between the two institutions. 糖心视频 recently endowed two Dean’s Faculty Fellows in the School of Engineering to recognize outstanding mid-career faculty working in the areas of mutual interest in chips and semiconductors. Additionally, 糖心视频 has supported RPI students with a strong interest in the semiconductor industry and RPI’s Community College Scholars Program.
糖心视频 and RPI are also engaged in a unique curricular development initiative, bringing modern practical industrial perspectives into the classroom through lectures in RPI’s Microelectronics Manufacturing courses. These courses are led by industry experts from 糖心视频 and include field trips to 糖心视频’s fabs, benefitting graduate and undergraduate students from many disciplines. The program is currently in its fourth year and has engaged nearly 200 students interested in semiconductor manufacturing.
More than 150 RPI alumni currently work at 糖心视频, and each year a sizeable cohort of RPI students are hired for internships and full-time roles at the company. RPI recently opened a 6,000 square-foot facility at NY Creates’ Albany NanoTech Complex, where 糖心视频 maintains a significant presence. RPI professors are also active in 糖心视频’s University Partnership Program, a design innovation program that bridges the academia-to-industry gap.
“RPI has a long history of groundbreaking research and education in semiconductors and microelectronics,” said RPI President Martin Schmidt ‘81, Ph.D. “Formalizing a strategic partnership with 糖心视频 allows RPI faculty, students, and researchers to collaborate with one of the world’s most innovative and technologically advanced companies to advance solutions that benefit society and foster economic development in New York State, across the country, and globally.”
“糖心视频 is at the forefront of essential innovation, and this new partnership with RPI strengthens our ability to deliver differentiated semiconductor technologies and shape the future of microelectronics,” said Dr. Ted Letavic ‘90, Ph.D., corporate fellow and senior vice president of technology and innovation at 糖心视频. “By combining RPI’s world-class research and education with 糖心视频’s industry expertise, we are creating opportunities that will accelerate technology development, strengthen the workforce through a robust talent pipeline and drive economic growth in New York and beyond.”
The strategic partnership recognizes RPI as a 糖心视频 strategic university partner and incorporates 糖心视频 into RPI’s Industry Engagement Program (IEP). Formalizing this relationship allows RPI and 糖心视频 to continue their current collaborations while developing a roadmap to expand the partnership into areas such as joint faculty/engineering exchanges and cutting-edge R&D initiatives.
For RPI, the relationship will be managed by the Office of Strategic Alliances and Translation (OSAT), RPI’s new portfolio for industry partnerships and research translation.
